This is my final update of my Southpark Character in Illustrator. Now I am moving onto Character Animator, where I can bring my character to life. I feel like my character is cleaner than what a normal southpark character would be, but I’m still happy with how it turned out.

I have started messing with character animator and I’ve finished nine mouths. I hope to finish all mouths on Friday so I can move on to animating my character more.

Today I named layers, organized sub-layers, and made variations of eyebrows. The eyebrows are under sub-layers of the head, and most of them are hidden. I made angry/furrowed brows, neutral brows, and the brows that you can see above. I hope to get multiple mouths done on Thursday. Although I’m not unhappy with how it’s turning out, I still feel as if it’s missing a certain element that Southpark characters possess so I hope to fix that problem as well.

Today I changed the color of the sleeves, gave her pants, and made her glasses. The pants and sleeves were given different colors using the eyedropper tool, and the glasses were made with the pen tool.

Today I finished My characters body parts and most of her shirt. The body was made using the pen tool ellipse tool and a lot of arranging.

Today I created the head which consists of the eyes, mouth, and hair. I tried to tackle the body but I was having a hard time so I decided I will try again on Tuesday. The head was relatively easy, the hardest part being the hair. I used the pen tool for the mouth and hair & the ellipse tool for the eyes and head. I still need to rotate the eyes to mimic the southpark style.

Creating this gang of ninjas required making shapes and putting them together. The head is, obviously, a circle, the body is a rectangle, the arms and legs are rounded rectangles, and the face is a crescent. I added stroke for depth along the innermost parts of the shapes. In order to give them funny poses I just had to rotate the limbs and bring the arrangement to the front.

I traced the lines using clicks, shift, alt, and dragging points.

To make this hippo I started with the snout/mouth and created an oval. I made a copy of the oval and then dragged one of them upwards, creating the head. The ears were made using the same method as the head. I used connected lines and rounded them out along with transforming them for the teeth and arms. As for the sign, it was made from a simple rectangle and the word “HIPPO.”

I used most of the same methods from pen tool exercise one, which included a lot of clicking, pressing alt & shift, and dragging, to trace the word “VECTOR.”
